Chimera 0.6. Load http://www.student.lu.se/~kin02ndo/dvd/wo_de_fuqin_muqin/ and choose a menu item from the topmost floating popup menu (which by the way is unstyled, but this is on purpose, right?). Choose an item that contains chars other than ASCII, for instance Wo hu cang long (with Chinese signs) or Metallica (with em-dash) at the bottom of the menu. Keep your eyes on the menu as you release it, and you will see MacRoman garbage for a split second, before the real content returns just before the destination page loads. This shouldn't be visible, and I doubt there should be this kind of conversion at all. The page is in UTF-16, Mozilla uses UTF-16 internally, Mac OS X uses UTF-16 internally, so why is this happening?
I can't see the garbage using Chimera/2002110415 on 10.1.5. Can you capture a screenshot?

There are no apples in Unicode. It is supposed to be an em-dash.
Okay, I see it now. I wasn't doing it right. Confirmed using Chimera/2002110415 on 10.1.5.
